Registrations can be completed online via the Surf Lifesaving Portal. The portal is very easy to use and allows family groups to be set up to renew all family members at once.

Note that all family members need an individual account within the portal before they can be added to a family group.

When joining or renewing online, please ensure all mandatory fields are completed – emergency contact details are mandatory and we are unable to accept a ‘pending renewal’ into the system without this information being completed. The category Junior Activity Member (not Probationary) should be chosen for all nippers, 5 – 14 and General for all nipper parents.

Renewing and annual fee payment are two separate steps, so please ensure you also make your payment at the same time. As well as via credit card on the portal, payments may also be made by direct debit into the Dee Why SLSC account: BSB 062-155 Account: 10425496. Please include your surname as a reference. Fees payable are available here.

Yes. Swim, Board, Flags, Sprints, 1K Run and Cross Training runs week days and on Saturday.

These sessions and times will vary from season to season. View the Nippers Training webpage for more information.

Parents should check with Age Managers if their children can participate in these sessions.

** ONLY children that are proficient swimmers i.e. can swim 200 metres are able to participate in water (board & swim) training. Saturday sessions are open to Nippers (U8 – U14) at all levels – but they must be proficient.

All competitors must complete a minimum of 7 surf education days throughout the season and all water competitors in Under 9’s and above are required to complete a competition evaluation prior to participating in any Sydney Northern Beaches Carnival.

Competitors must complete a minimum training requirement in order to compete. This can be with the club or through an external source such as swimming training / squads / sprint training or the like.

Due to the escalating cost of carnival entry fees, it has been necessary to have a once off competition fee of $30. This is payable by any nipper that enters carnivals. If a Nipper is entered into a carnival and does not compete then new levy will be imposed.
